Chapter 60: The Battle of Sunset (4)

  Yang Shuangfeng hastily ran off and called down Yang Jirui from the bell tower, saying: "Quick! We have to go out and save a few people!"

  Yang Jirui's face suddenly changed, and he pulled him back with one hand, saying in a low voice: "Are you crazy? How can you go out at this time? Don't you want your life?"

  Yang Shuangfeng's face was covered in cold sweat as he hastily said, "No way, I have to go out! Su Yun and the others are still outside, I can't let them fall into the hands of those rebels, absolutely not!"

  "Maple Leaf, you must think thrice! The situation outside is extremely dangerous, you absolutely cannot go out!"

  Yang Shuang's eyes rolled fiercely and he gritted his teeth, saying: "San Si, what are you thinking? I must go out! She Yan, I order you to bring 100 men to follow me, the rest of you strictly defend this place. Meng Di, push your field artillery outside and fire a shot, blast those bastards at the street corner away for me, I need to pass through there!"

  "What? Have you gone mad?"

  "How can this be?"

  Yang Shuangfeng said with a huff: "Are you going to carry out orders or not? If not, I'll go out alone!"

  Xie Yan slapped his forehead and said, "Good grief, how did I end up following a guy who often loses his mind! Alright, I'll carry out the order, but if we die there, it's on you!"

  Yang Shuang's eyes were fixed on Monty Yu, and Monty Yu helplessly said: "Okay, I'll execute the command."

  Yang Shuangfeng finally had a hint of a smile and said lightly: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

  Mondieu ordered a light cannon to be pushed out and fired at the street corner, and sure enough, the slaves hiding there scattered in all directions to find shelter. Yang Shuangfeng waved his hand and led Shiyan and 100 palace warriors to charge out of the prefecture yamen. Following Yu Huan's description, Yang Shuangfeng searched for Shan Heng Tang with a tense and calm demeanor.

  The streets were littered with discarded items and dismembered corpses, the ground was covered in blood, and there were many naked young women's bodies that had been raped and killed, some of whom had even had their genitals dug out. The scene was too gruesome to behold. There were also children who had lost their parents, sitting on the ground crying out in a daze. The smell of blood filled the entire city of Baoying Prefecture. Yang Songfen took a deep breath and gripped his Tokarev rifle even tighter.

  "Red Lotus Sect... didn't they say they were for the happiness of the common people? How can they do this to the common people, burning, killing, raping and looting?" She Yan saw Yang Suo's gloomy face and asked in a low voice.

  "Slogans are just a facade! Any slogan is a facade!" Yang Suofeng said gritting his teeth.

  Shai Yan saw his face was not good and didn't dare speak again.

  A group of slaves came running towards him, dancing and shouting, holding various stolen goods in their hands. Yang Suofeng waved his hand almost expressionlessly, and a rain of arrows passed by, the slaves hadn't even had time to react before they all fell down. One slave who hadn't died yet struggled to look at Yang Suofeng as he slowly approached, as if trying to get a good look at his face, but the general's sword in Yang Suofeng's hand lightly swept across his throat, ending his life and wishes.

  "The Red Lotus Sect has lost its original doctrine." Yang Suofeng said coldly, wiping his sword with a white handkerchief and then discarding it in the blood pool. Behind him, a group of corpses lay with their eyes still open.

  Suddenly, one of the Imperial Guards beside Shi Yan let out a low groan, an arrow in his chest, and fell headfirst into a pool of blood.

  "Archers! Scatter!" Yanzhi shouted loudly.

  But Yang Shuangfeng's movements were even faster, and with a flick of his gun barrel, an enemy holding a wooden bow fell from the front of a building. Shi Yan rushed over to take a look and found that it was a slave wearing a guard uniform. He said urgently: "We have to hurry, it seems their main force is not far from here."

  Yang Xuan nodded and saw the sign of Shan Heng Tang, but at the same time, he also saw a dense crowd of people appearing at the end of the street.

  "Ah!" Yang Suofeng took a deep breath, quickly quickened her pace, and rushed through the streets like the wind. She kicked open the door and burst into the main hall of Shan Heng Tang, only to see several women sitting motionlessly in their chairs. Among them were four familiar faces: Su Xiangru, Cai Mianmian, Cai Xinyan, and Cai Bingxia, but there was another person whose identity she couldn't discern.

  However, Yang Shuangfeng didn't care about that much, and he picked up Su Xuerong in one go, turned around and left. Unexpectedly, his chest hurt, and when he looked down, it was a pair of scissors that had pierced into his chest. He couldn't help but let out a groan, and stumbled back two steps. Su Xuerong suddenly opened her eyes, scolded with her eyebrows raised: "You treacherous officials... Ah?! How is it you?" Suddenly seeing Yang Shuangfeng's face, her voice stopped abruptly, her expression also dull and confused, the bloody scissors in her hand fell silently to the ground, hitting her feet but she had no sensation.

  "General Yang!" exclaimed Cai Bing with a joyful cry of surprise.

  Yang Shuangfeng covered his chest, his face pale with pain. The scissors were not particularly sharp, but Su Yunru's hatred made her strength especially great, and he was completely unprepared, almost the entire pair of scissors had been inserted. He groaned intermittently, saying: "It's me, I've come to rescue you!"

  Her eyes turned red with excitement, tears streaming down her face, she choked out: "I knew it, I knew you'd come to save us! Zi Yue sister, we're saved, quickly help him bandage his wounds!"

  The woman Yang Shuangfeng didn't know didn't speak, she quickly got up and came over to press the wound on Yang Shuangfeng's chest. She shook her head indifferently and said: "It's too deep, even if we bandage it, it won't help." However, despite saying that, she still quickly tore open the clothes around the wound, sprinkled a lot of white medicine powder on it, and the blood gradually coagulated. But Yang Shuangfeng's nose was really annoying, he couldn't stand the strange woman's body scent, Zi Yue's body scent stimulated him, and he couldn't help but sneeze violently again, so the coagulated blood burst out again.

  Yang Shuangfeng took a deep breath and said slowly: "It seems that I will die here today."

  Su Yun's body swayed slightly, and she closed her eyes in pain.

  The ice lotus flower's face lost color, stuttering and saying: "It won't happen, it won't happen, he won't die. Zi Yue sister, you must save him, you must save him!"

  The woman named Zi Yue said with difficulty: "We must make good preparations before taking action, but now..."

  Suddenly, a urgent voice came from outside: "Fengling, the enemy is rushing up, there are too many of them, let's retreat quickly!"

  Yang Shuangfeng endured the pain and calmly said: "You guys go ahead quickly, I'll cover you from behind."

  Cai Bingxiao and Cai Xianxian immediately took action, but Su Qing still stood there numbly. In the end, she sat down with a thud, her eyes dull and lifeless.

  Yang Shuangfen's eyes turned red with anxiety and she shouted loudly: "What are you doing?"

  "Suxiang said in a shrill voice: 'I'd rather die here, I won't go with you! You devil, you... Get out, get out! I don't want to see you! I'll cut you into a thousand pieces...' "

  Yang Shuangfeng was taken aback.

  Su Yun suddenly pounced on him, frantically pulling at Yang Shuang's body, crying out: "I want you to die, I want you to die!" She turned her head and searched for a knife with disheveled hair, while everyone else was stunned and didn't know how to stop her.

  Yang Shuang sighed deeply, took a deep breath and calmly said: "Su Yunfeng, I indeed hurt you, I owe you an apology! I want to have the chance to make up for my mistakes, so please follow me immediately!"

  Zi Yue and others looked strange, their faces feeling a bit hot, Su Yunru was also shocked all over, Yang Xuanfeng took the opportunity to pull her into Cai Bingxia's arms and said urgently: "You three take her away, I'll cover you from behind!"

  Zi Yue was still packing, when Yang Xuan called out: "No more, no time, let's go!" He grabbed her hand and rushed out the door. All she could hear was the deafening roar of shouting voices, as thousands and millions of slaves swarmed after them.

  Yang Shuangfeng ran while looking back and firing his gun, but in this chaotic pursuit of tens of thousands of people, one or two individuals falling down was completely negligible, the only thing that could be compared was probably the speed of both sides.

  "This won't do, I'll lead twenty men to stay behind and cut off their retreat." Zhe Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks, Yang Shuang almost collided with him.

  Yang Shuangfeng had not yet responded when She Yan began deploying his troops: "Those willing to stay and block the enemy, stand firm!"

  All the palace warriors stopped in their tracks.

  Yang Shuang said calmly: "No, all of you who were officers before, stay behind! Officers will cover the rear!"

  In an instant, more than 20 palace guards stood up and said in unison: "We are military officers!"

  Yang Shuang said resolutely: "You stay here, everyone else retreat immediately!"

  "Impossible, Fengling, you'd better leave quickly!"

  Yang Shuang said faintly: "Listen to my order, tell them to leave immediately! You and I will stay!"

  Seeing Yang Su's irresistible expression, She Yan had no choice but to order the other palace warriors to support Su Yun and others to leave quickly. The twenty or so people then lined up in a row facing the surging enemy.

  "Maple Leaf, are you afraid?" Xie Yan suddenly said in a low voice.

  "There's something." Yang Shuangfeng said honestly as he looked at the surging crowd that was getting bigger and bigger in his eyes.

  "To be honest, I'm a bit scared too." Xie Yan took a deep breath and said calmly, "But we're used to it."

  Yang Shuangfen nodded calmly and said, "I think I'll get used to it too."

  Pong!

  A hail of arrows, and a row of slaves fell down in front, but the people behind them still swarmed forward.

  "Draw your sword!" She Yan issued the death order without any emotion.
